Daryl 1,220 Report post Posted February 16, 2013 Had a lot of Blue Faced Honeyeaters hanging about this morning..too fast to photo in flight, but caught this one resting in my Poinciana...either a female or juvenile as it didn't have a blue face... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walter John 202 Report post Posted August 24, 2013 Australian white Ibis are okay in small numbers, this guy visits regularly but only ever on his own, I wouldn't want a tree full, can be smelly and messy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walter John 202 Report post Posted August 29, 2013 Here's a flock of photos on a single rainbow lorrikeet that has been feeding from my home made feeder. Usually I get pale faced rosellas and the odd king parrot. This guy pops in quietly by himself and doesn't call to his brothers and sisters. He approaches from a gum tree and/or bamboo nearby, then from a Chambeyronia leaf. Nearly same pattern of entry every time. From the Chamby Lots of colour under wing as well. He eats. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cindy Adair 2,209 Report post Posted November 10, 2013 Our entire family enjoys seeing these, but so far only in zoos which can also be sad. I'm glad you have such a good fence Wal, but I really like your photos! Someday we will make it to your neck of the woods and see these critters as you do.

LilikoiLee 178 Report post Posted December 20, 2013 This morning, on the pool deck, I found evidence of a night time visitor. It was a little gruesome so I did not take a picture of it. All sorts of frogs and toads swim in my pool and last night we had several inches of rain so it was like frog heaven in my back yard. One of the visitors was the Cane Toad, Buffo marinus. Most know that this toad has poison glands on the back of its head/neck, and most animals avoid it for this reason. This morning I found a cane toad, minus all its four legs lying on its back in a tiny pool of blood. Apparently, whatever predator did it has leaned to eat all the legs but leave the body alone.

Buffos are a big problem on the Big Island. I've found quite a few of them floating in water around our property. Many times they've drowned because they couldn't reach the bottom of the container and weren't able to jump out. Sadly a distressing number of dogs have died from their poison.

LilikoiLee 178 Report post Posted December 20, 2013 I hope I am not committing heresy; but I think this forum is as good as the palm forum.....and a lot more colorful. The critters, especially the birds, are amazing. Ditto to Kim's post about the difficulty of photographing birds. My husband Mike fell in love with Australia when he took his hot air balloon to Oz for the Australian Bicential and World's Fair. He still talks about Australia on a regular basis and just this evening on our way home was explaining more of Australia's unique expressions and sharing his Australia stories with me. I've wanted see Australia's palms and throw a shrimp on the barbie for a long time. After seeing the critters in this post I wish I was getting on the next plane.

A local Robin (I think) hanging out in one of my Callistemons down at the creek...she was a bit of a camera hog...definitely not shy! Daryl 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
